President Hindenburg responded to the Reichstag fire by passing a decree that limited basic rights. This decree, known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, was enacted on February 28, 1933, and allowed the government to suspend civil liberties, restrict freedom of the press, and enable the detention of individuals without trial, effectively facilitating the Nazi Party's consolidation of power.
